More winutil docs update (#4038)

* updated the gen to add a blackline under the frontmatter and added .md file in the same location with breakdown on what the script does

* copyright fix.

found out the reason why it rendered correctly on my pc and not with site builder. it was because we use --minify for the site builder and i have not been using that on the local instance

* Update pre-release.yaml

* Update en.yaml

+---
+
+# Dev Docs Generator
+
+The `devdocs-generator.ps1` script automatically generates Hugo-compatible markdown files for the development documentation. It pulls content directly from the JSON config files and PowerShell function files so the docs never go out of sync.
+
+## When Does It Run?
+
+- Automatically in CI via the GitHub Actions `docs.yaml` workflow before Hugo builds the site
+- Triggered when any of these change: `docs/**`, `config/tweaks.json`, `config/feature.json`, `functions/**`
+- Can also be run manually with `workflow_dispatch`
+
+## What Does It Do?
+
+### 1. Loads the Data
+
+- Reads `config/tweaks.json` and `config/feature.json`
+- Reads all `.ps1` function files from `functions/public/` and `functions/private/`
+- Parses `Invoke-WPFButton.ps1` to build a mapping of button names to their function names
+
+### 2. Updates Links in JSON
+
+- Adds or updates a `"link"` property on every entry in both JSON config files
+- Each link points to that entry's documentation page on the Hugo site
+
+### 3. Cleans Up Old Docs
+
+- Deletes all `.md` files (except `_index.md`) from `docs/content/dev/tweaks/` and `docs/content/dev/features/`
+- This prevents duplicate or orphaned files from previous runs
+
+### 4. Generates Tweak Documentation
+
+For each entry in `tweaks.json` that belongs to a documented category:
+
+- **Button type** entries get the mapped PowerShell function file embedded
+- **All other types** get the raw JSON snippet embedded with correct line numbers from the source file
+- Entries with **registry changes** get a Registry Changes section added
+- Entries with **services** get the `Set-WinUtilService.ps1` function appended
+
+### 5. Generates Feature Documentation
+
+For each entry in `feature.json` that belongs to a documented category:
+
+- **Fixes and Legacy Windows Panels** get the mapped PowerShell function file embedded
+- **Features** get the raw JSON snippet embedded with correct line numbers
+
+### 6. Output Format
+
+- Every `.md` file gets Hugo frontmatter with `title` and `description`
+- Code blocks use Hugo syntax with filename labels and line numbers
+- Files are organized into category subdirectories matching the JSON `category` field
+
+## Documented Categories
+
+The script generates docs for entries in these categories:
+
+- Essential Tweaks
+- z__Advanced Tweaks - CAUTION
+- Customize Preferences
+- Performance Plans
+- Features
+- Fixes
+- Legacy Windows Panels
+
+## File Structure
+
+```
+docs/content/dev/
+  tweaks/
+    Essential-Tweaks/
+    z--Advanced-Tweaks---CAUTION/
+    Customize-Preferences/
+    Performance-Plans/
+  features/
+    Features/
+    Fixes/
+    Legacy-Windows-Panels/
+```
+
+## How File Names Are Derived
+
+The script strips common prefixes from the JSON key names using the pattern `WPF(WinUtil|Toggle|Features?|Tweaks?|Panel|Fix(es)?)?`. For example:
+
+| JSON Key | Generated File |
+|---|---|
+| `WPFTweaksHiber` | `Hiber.md` |
+| `WPFTweaksDeBloat` | `DeBloat.md` |
+| `WPFFeatureshyperv` | `hyperv.md` |
+| `WPFPanelDISM` | `DISM.md` |
+
+## Key Points
+
+- The JSON config files are the single source of truth
+- Manual edits to generated `.md` files will be overwritten on the next run
+- The script does not touch `_index.md` files or `architecture.md`
+- Category directories are created automatically if they don't exist
+- The `"link"` property added to JSON entries is excluded from the displayed code blocks
